Preliminary Task FINAL DECISION
For our preliminary task we are going to have a few a few shots of someone walking through a door from different angles and view points. the person is going to sit down on the chair and begin to have a debate with the person he is talking to, The other person will then leave the room slamming the door, we will use camera skills to show different angles of the door slamming and then a close up of the person storming off, finishing with a camera shot of the person who was in the room.

Final Decisions
Soundtrack.
We were thinking of having a mix of both fast-paced music and standard atmospheric music. For instance, fast-paced Drum and Bass would make a chase scene seem faster, and it would make the scene seem tense and it get your heart beating fast.
Sound effects.
For sound effects we would need things like , blood splatters, screams, sliceing sounds, footsteps and heavey footsteps. As we are doing a horror, this would seem rather appropriate. these are all sound you expect from a horror film.
Costumes.
For costumes, the character being chased would need normal clothing, as he is just a normal person. The killer would possibly need a mask and a hood. This makes the killer seem like he is isolated, like you know nothing about him, and not seeing his face makes it more of a mystery. You feel like you don't know the killer, so you can't feel sorry for him because of his background. This forces you to empathis with the victim.
Props.
We would need a mask and an object to be used as a weapon. This is fairly simple as we only need two minutes of footage, so props aren't a major issue. But we were looking at using a weapon that hasn't been seem in a horror movie. This could give a feeling of authenticity.
Lighting.
For lighting, we will proably use night vision and spotlights, this is because we are going to be filming in the dark.

Narrative
Quite simply put, narrative is the general term for telling a story.
Narration is important to explain the story and explain whats going on in the film/movie, without narration, in some films the story line would be hard to understand, narration breaks up the story and tells you whats going on.
The three narrative theorios are :-
A bibliography also comes into narration, it explains the auhor of a book, the year the book was written etc... bibliographys can be useful for things like documentarys, a filmography is pretty similar. It does the same thing except its with a film, the director of the film the year it was made etc...
